Leadbetter Point Santa Barbara Painting

I am an Abstract Impressionist. As a primary school kid I was always drawing . In secondary school my art teacher was great Australian artist Ian Bow. 'Bowie' was definitely my first important influence in aesthetics, art for art's sake and [post] impressionism. The skill he developed in my painting and together with this knowledge of art's power, won me a place at RMIT University. Art School. RMIT-So many wonderful teachers -many great and famous names. Giant among even them was great Australian Impressionist William [ Jock] Frater who set my brush style and access to aerial perspective which I will die with. I graduated in Painting and Illustration and proceeded to establish and endure as an elite Illustrator, Award Winning, Exhibiting Painter /Graphic designer/art and film director. Now some decades later having drawn and painted the 10,000things, I find the commercial modes of my creative life have stepped aside and deferred to the Fine art exhibiting Impressionist painting stream. And really it's about time. I am an Abstract Impressionist. Impressionist because that is what was given to me by Bow and Frater and Abstract because of what the Quantum physicists have but recently discovered and shared with us. i.e. Despite the most scientifically, intense and miniscule exploration of the Quantum Field no actual matter can be found- just waves of........ energy. Ergo Nothing exists. Life is but a dream -a thought. [I knew it. I always knew this.]All is only one. Oneself is not just a part of the quantum filed [Universe], one is the entire quantum field itself. Oneself ['you dear reader']is, in reality the One Omniscient, Creator. It's a no brainer. There is nothing and no 'other' outside the Oneself. Oneself but has to ask and is provided. Oneself is all that is. So it follows that a representational artist is inevitably engaged in pointless delusion in the rendition or depiction [of the 10,000]things . Hence the 20thCentury introduction of Abstract Art, Cubism etc So latterly, as an Abstract Impressionist searching within and without for a painting subject I stay alert to the occurrence of pure graphic harmonious, arrangements, whilst pretty well totally ignoring the 'sentimental' lyric before me. e.g 'Pet Puppy' or 'Princess'
